a TIE By Don Allen. ‘ARD CHANDLER CHRISTY H is nothing if not artistic, even in the matter of telling the advertising department of a world- famous automobile corporation just where to alight. It seems that, among many others, Christy received a letter from the auto concern announcing the starting ef a prige-drawing competition. It read something lke this: “Why don’t you try your luck at winning a prize for the best drawing of @ scene illustrating the Blank car? Submit as many drawings as you de- sire, and all those we accept we will pay for at the rate of $50 each. If you win the prize, we will give you ‘one of our cars for the prize drawing.” Christy's answer is self-explanatory. At read somewhat after this fashion: “Why don't you try for one of my drawings? Submit as many cars as you like, and I will pay you $60 for The ones I accept. Should you win} the prize, I shall keep the prize car and send you a drawing.” The negotiations ended with a snap right then and there. LIEUTENANT JOHNNY SHATTERS AN ILLUSION.
